Chapter 539 – Saint Liu Yun! (1/2)

When the three of them vanished from the stone steps, the force of gravity on the stone steps instantly vanished, and then all of them heaved sighs of relief before running madly up the stone steps. Even though they weren’t able to obtain Saint Liu Yun’s inheritance, there was definitely a huge amount of treasures in such a large palace. Since they’d come here, how could they possibly just leave empty handed?

The members of the demon race and devil race charged over as well. After all, they hadn’t come here for Saint Liu Yun’s inheritance because Saint Liu Yun was a human profounder. How could a human profounder possibly give his inheritance the devil or demon race? The reason they’d come here was mainly for Saint Liu Yun’s treasures!

How could anyone not be tempted by the treasures which were left behind by a Saint Realm expert?

The only people who didn’t move were those in Luo Jun’s group.

“Mortal Emperor, what should we do now?” Granny Rong spoke in a low voice. She hadn’t gone with Luo Jun’s group because her strength was comparatively lacking. So, she hadn’t had the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the surprise a.s.sault against Yang Ye and An Nanjing. That was exactly why she’d escaped death.

Luo Jun took a deep breath and said, “The World Portrait might fall into the hands of An Nanjing or Yang Ye. It’s meaningless for us to continue staying here. Send for the leaders of the 10 regiments.” When he spoke up to this point, Luo Jun pondered deeply for a moment before he continued. “Order the four Grand Commanders of the Souleater Corps, and the two Pavilion Masters and four Vice Pavilion Masters of the Shadow Pavilion and the Dark Pavilion to get here quickly!”

Granny Rong’s heart shook. She knew that the Mortal Emperor was determined to kill Yang Ye this time.

Luo Jun took a long glance at the end of the stone steps, and then he said, “Fine, I’ll let you bring the World Portrait out for me!” Luo Jun turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking.

Yin Xuan’er watched Luo Jun leave from the stone steps, and her brows knit together slightly.

“Why didn’t you allow me to go join Yang Ye just now?” Lu Jianyao spoke with slight displeasure from Yin Xuan’er’s side. Actually, they’d arrived at the wilds a long time ago, but Yin Xuan’er didn’t allow her to go see Yang Ye, and it made Lu Jianyao feel very displeased.

Yin Xuan’er glanced at Lu Jianyao and said, “Listen carefully. Perhaps Luo Jun is helpless against Yang Ye and An Nanjing. But killing us is as easy as crus.h.i.+ng a few ants to him. If you were to go to Yang Ye’s side, then Luo Jun would definitely target you. How would you resist Luo Jun if he were to try to kill or capture you?”

“Wouldn’t I still have Yang Ye and An Nanjing to protect me?” Lu Jianyao spoke softly and seemed to be slightly lacking confidence.

Yin Xuan’er shook her head and said, “Do you know why Yang Ye still allowed you to come here when you’re so stupid and like to push your friends into difficult positions? Even though Yang Ye is a ruthless person that doesn’t show any mercy when he does things, he’s a very loyal person. You were willing to die in order to protect him while he was breaking through that day. So, he really took you to be a friend from that moment onward. That’s the only reason why he’s able to tolerate all the things you do.

But you have to have some awareness. Besides being a burden to him, what else can you do while staying by his side? Since you can’t help him and will only be a burden to him, then why follow him? Think about it yourself.”

Lu Jianyao fell silent while her face became slightly pale.

“Let’s go. If I’m not wrong, then there are definitely a huge amount of techniques and treasures within that palace. We won’t get anything if we’re late!” Yin Xuan’er led Jin Sha and the others up the stone steps.

Lu Jianyao remained silent on the spot for quite some time before she followed them as well.

…

“He’s Saint Liu Yun?” In a hall, Yang Ye gazed with astonishment at a middle aged man who sat cross-legged on a meditation cus.h.i.+on not too far away from him. There was nothing unusual about the middle aged man’s appearance, or it should be said to be extremely ordinary like a commoner who hadn’t cultivated at all.

There was a trace of surprise in An Nanjing’s eyes as well. Obviously, she hadn’t imagined that a Saint Realm expert like Saint Liu Yun would actually seem so ordinary.

“Surprising, right?” The old man in Daoist robes said, “He really is Saint Liu Yun. He was extraordinary all those years ago.”

Yang Ye gazed at Saint Liu Yun whose face was rosy as if he wasn’t dead at all, and then Yang Ye said, “Did Saint Liu Yun vanish along with those other Saint Realm experts from the ancient times, or is he dead?”

The old man shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me about anything else as well because I wouldn’t tell you even if you did ask about it.”

When he spoke up to this point, the old man walked over to Saint Liu Yun and said, “The person you’ve been waiting for is here.”

Yang Ye and An Nanjing watched with solemn expressions in their eyes as a slightly ethereal and translucent figure appeared above Saint Liu Yun.

A soul!

The translucent figure was clearly a part of Saint Liu Yun’s soul.

Saint Liu Yun opened his eyes, and then his gaze descended onto both An Nanjing and Yang Ye. He frowned a little when he saw An Nanjing. “A woman?”

Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed when he heard this, and then a trace of confusion and uneasiness arose in the depths of his eyes.
